This is kind of what i was indicating with what I said earlier about Nick adding a Wal Mart special. Today's mass produced junk does not begin to compair with the quality of the human produced items of the past. There was a time when tools were designed and built to last not a life time but to become family heirlooms, ie last several life times. That is the class most of Nicks weapons are in. A little oil and at most a few strokes with a whet stone and they are good to go. I have owned several super soakers over a long lifetime. They all work for a short while then NEED to be replaced. And it is exactly why I laughed myself into a head ache when I saw it.
If I had something important to say, I would have mumbled it.
